M5lp 1202 05 2011 NMRA Columbus Ohio

What we've started to notice more and more is the level of professionalism coming to the NMRA. If you watch the NHRA's big classes, each crew member looks over at the other to make sure both racers are ready to go. In SSO, this is becoming the trend, which is nice to see. This is also helpful to the drivers, making it easier for them to fully concentrate on the race ahead of them. Here Big Mike Coleman from Chris Tuten's crew looks over to Mike "Big Money" Hill from John Urist's crew before setting the boys loose. Unfortunately, a broken crankshaft ended Chris' weekend prematurely.
